This a question for the meat eaters...?

Question

do you ever at any point while eating chicken, beef, pork, or fish feel bad that your eating a dead animal that probably suffered a horrible death?
i dont need any arguments or people getting mad at me. i'm not one of those radical vegetarians or anything. i just want yes or no answers.

Answer 1

Not so much about that, sometimes though. Mostly I feel bad thinking about all of the meat that gets wasted. At least if I'm eating it the animal served the purpose for which it was born. But via the restaurant industry and just wasteful people in general, there are many animals suffering in vain.
Also, I feel worse about all of the forrests that are cut down to make way for cattle ranches, especially in the Amazon.
Also, regarding fish, I feel badly that humans are destroying the natural balances of fish populations- especially the Japanese and all of their whaling.

Answer 2

while it comprises risky diets there are greater fish to fry, with a view to communicate. till somebody is a wellness enthusiast that's not a thank you to lead them to think of two times approximately eating meat. in spite of everything, that's included right into a healthful weight loss plan- purely not as much as a lot of human beings consume. i'm for my area a vegetarian because of the fact I won't help animal cruelty. If i visit get worked up approximately it, that's the only reason. i've got self belief your matters with meat run deeper than it being risky for the guy eating it- wherein case, say so, because of the fact or you will might desire to bypass after chocolates and crisps too!

Answer 3

Yes and No...

Yes, in the sense that I think about the how the food is raised and what the farmer has to do to make sure his product reaches the market - antibiotics, meds in the feed... etc.
As a result, I try to buy from local farmers who raise the meat without using meds or antibiotics. A secondary benefit, the animal is more humanely treated before being slaughtered.

No.. I don't feel bad about eating meat.

Answer 4

Not really. I ate a ling cod once that I speared south of Gerstle Cove, CA. There he was cruising through the rocks at a depth of 65 feet, I had to shadow him through a kelp forest and then when he entered a 2' wide crack, I let the sling spear fly and I hit him right in the gills. A melee ensued and it took all my strength to get him on the fish clip. I then had to swim back to shore 450 yards away through 7' surf, wind, and surge. I barely made it. That was my most successful day fishing and the cod tasted great. Cod is awesome!! ts

I am Cod!!!

Answer 5

Did it ever occur to you that not everybody feels bad about the same stuff? Of course they know an animal died for that steak, but they just don't care. Personally I care, which is why I'm a super strict vegetarian but guess what? I see homeless people all the time I don't feel bad one bit for any of them! And someone else could easily call me heartless for that. So get over it.

Answer 6

We raise all of our meat. I feel that that is what cows are for I guess. I do not buy any animal products when I am out to eat or from the store though, because I have heard horror stories on how they are raised and killed. At least I know my burger had a happy life.

Answer 7

NO! and I'm going to have a steak for lunch (medium Rare) just to celebrate the life of the cow! I also love the screaming of a cherry tomato as it's ripped off the vine and crushed into spaghetti sauce... Any more questions?

Answer 8

Nope.

I hunt and fish, doesn't bother me at all.

And the death of the animal that I'm eating was probably less painful then being eaten alive by a lion.

Answer 9

no. but i am half decided if i want to buy into owning a black angus steer that a neighbor will raise for me and then take to a butcher shop for processing. i am not sure how i would feel if i was to see the steer as it grew and then have to make the decision to send it to its death for me to enjoy its flesh on a gas grill, or in meatloaf, or chili.

but as an avid hunter i am not hesitant to pull the trigger on my deer rifle or to let loose an arrow from my bow at a deer during hunting seasons. venison is much healthier for you than beef and i would prefer to fill my deep freezer with it than beef.

Answer 10

No I don't put emotions on an animal. I am just enjoying a meal.

When you eat at all do you think about the 3 world countries that are starving? No? I don't either.
